...and my dream just came true! I'm an emotional person but even so it's not often that I'm moved to tears over unexpected kindnesses. This morning though, I was blubbing like a good'un as I opened an unexpected package to find this from Raspberry...
How do you find the words to really thank someone for such a spontaneous and generous gift? I feel quite overwhelmed by warm feelings of goodwill and a lovely sense of the goodness that some people have at the centre of their being. I've only been blogging since September and yet through blogging I've felt part of something special - a collection of warm, honest and creative people with big hearts and quick wits and this is embodied by Alice and her generous, beautiful gift. I had admired this piece greatly - it's so beautifully subtle and evocative and I'd asked about buying it. I thought that she had sold it and then today it arrived! Thank you so much Alice, whenever I look at 'Snowy Fields' I'll remember how I feel right now and know there's hope for us all and the world in which we live. Have a very Happy Christmas everyone and especially you Alice.
